Returning to university, starting with confessing to his ex-wife, his counselor.

Liang Chao could feel that as his consciousness merged into this eighteen-year-old body, while certain future behavioral habits were brought back, his true self began to move closer to that of an eighteen-year-old.

He is still the same person, possessing memories of the "future" and more stable emotions than his peers.

But the youthful spirit that had been worn down by life has re-emerged distinctly in his personality.

For example, a 30-year-old man might feel secretly pleased when two 18-year-old girls invite him to team up.

For example, when a girl comes running up to him with small, dainty steps and asks for his WeChat with a shy look, he feels a little happy.

[Ding! Host received a flirtatious message from Qin Haifei, attention value +500]

"I...I'm Qin Haifei! I'm from the School of Architecture!"

After class, next to the East Second Teaching Building, a pretty girl named Qin Haifei suddenly turned around and mustered up her courage to wave to Liang Chao.

"Jiang Zilang!" Liang Chao smiled and waved, then introduced himself.

"No! Boss, why is the girl giving you my name when she adds you on WeChat?" Jiang Zilang panicked when he heard his own name.

"Huh? Who told you she added me?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Lang paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "But you clearly just now..."

"Oh, that's your WeChat!"

Liang Chao said "Oh," quickened his pace, and caught up with his roommate.

Just now, the girl did ask for his WeChat first, but he didn't give it to her.

The girl looked disappointed for a moment, then asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Then... then could I use your roommate's WeChat...?"

Liang Chao immediately understood that the girl just wanted to date a handsome guy, and she didn't care who the handsome guy was.

Hmm, the county magistrate's wife...

"Hey, did you see any girls you liked just now? Tell me, and I'll get their WeChat for you too!" Thinking of this, Liang Chao put his hand on Fatty's shoulder, pinched his chubby cheek, and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu's eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, there was one guy who just sat in front of us..."

The sun beat down fiercely on the campus paths, and even the breeze carried a scorching heat.

Jiang Zilang stood by a roadside bench, watching his roommates' backs as he watched them walk away, but for some reason, he felt incredibly cold.

[I, Jiang, have lived a carefree life, believing myself to be far superior to Liang Gou in both talent and looks. How could I have fallen so low one day?!]

[What is this... charity?]

Thinking of this, Ah Lang's handsome face flushed red, and his breathing became heavy involuntarily. He thought to himself, "Even if I, Jiang Zilang, starve to death, die outside, I'll..."

ding dong~

Suddenly, a WeChat notification sounded. A Lang suspiciously took out his phone and saw a red dot lit up under "New Friends" in WeChat.

He frowned for a long time before finally clicking on it.

Then, Ah Lang's lips curled up slowly and uncontrollably.

Xiao Feifei: Hello, I'm a female celebrity. Are you a male celebrity? [Frowning]

Ah Lang: It's [frowning].

......

At 7 p.m., in classroom 406 of the third teaching building, all forty students from the first class of bioengineering sat quietly.

Freshmen have evening self-study sessions, from 7 pm to 10 pm, a full three hours.

In the classroom, there was no teacher's pacing to supervise, and the students were no longer under the pressure of exam-oriented education, but still very few people were playing on their phones.

Some say that college is like a summer vacation, a breeze that blows through the height of summer, and a memory of her.

For most students at Sichuan University, university is a place where there are beautiful views outside the window, promising prospects in their writing, a sea of ​​books to bury their heads in, and a future to look up at.

The sense of urgency to be "excellent" never left their hearts.

University is just a different place to do problems.

Liang Chao was also studying diligently, trying to pick up the knowledge he had lost. Fortunately, he had excellent grades in university, received scholarships almost every year, and had a solid foundation, so self-study wasn't too difficult for him.

Similarly, Xia Yu and Chen Zihao were doing their homework, but A Lang was completely absorbed in flirting and couldn't extricate himself.

To become a playboy, you always have to lose something—maybe time and freedom, or maybe the durability of your kidneys.

Liang Chao read for a while longer, then checked the time: 9:30, half an hour before the end of self-study. He decided to take a break and check what he had learned that day.

Eight hours have passed since the "image refresh" campaign started, and the number of followers has reached 150,000.

The reason he achieved such results is because he lost his sense of shame and deliberately "exposed" himself at all times.

For example, during class, they might raise their hand to interrupt the teacher and ask strange questions; or after school, they might walk down the street, brandish a megaphone at the crowd ahead, and suddenly shout.

——oi~~Hey little devils in front!

Then, as hundreds of people turned around at once, he said something.

—Be happy every day!

For example, going to various cafeterias...

In short, they've completely lost face!

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will completely lose his priority in choosing a spouse this semester.

This can be seen from the fact that Xiao Jiayu, who is usually close to him, resolutely refuses to sit near him during evening self-study!

"Just bear with it a little longer, I'll stop once I've earned two hundred thousand!"

Liang Chao looked up at the ceiling, met the strange looks from his classmates, and listened to the snickers and whispers around him. His expression gradually became pained.

He felt he couldn't hold on any longer!

"Dorm leader, I'm outta here! Oh, and I'm not going back to the dorm tonight!"

Suddenly, Jiang Zilang patted him on the shoulder and whispered something to him.

"No, you're not going back to the dorm, you're staying here... ugh~~"

Liang Chao was taken aback, then, as if realizing something, his pupils gradually dilated.

"Female celebrity?"

"Okay! I'm not going to say anything more, you're waiting for me!" Jiang Zilang smiled shyly, his expression slightly bashful.

Upon hearing this, Liang Chao couldn't help but gasp. This is absolutely outrageous! You've only known each other for a few hours?

Is this "love" amidst the gunfire?

Liang Chao swallowed hard, not understanding, but greatly shocked.

"Big brother, isn't third brother going to study anymore?"

Xia Yu turned around, her chubby face full of confusion. "The school's Youth League Committee and Student Union's disciplinary inspection departments will be conducting inspections later!"

Liang Chao replied with a serious expression, "He has more important things to do!"

Xia Yu: "What's up?"

Liang Chao: "Do your homework."

Xia Yu: "Oh."

......

After finishing his evening self-study session, Liang Chao went to the sports field next to the lotus pond. Looking at the many figures on the dark red track, he opened his mouth again and again, but in the end, he couldn't transform into a social thug again.

This made him feel ashamed, as if he was too incompetent to completely give up the dough.

"Let's go for a run first, then practice boxing tomorrow morning!"

The temperature didn't drop much at night, but the occasional breeze was particularly refreshing.

Liang Chao stepped onto the track, one foot at a time. The track, made of plastic and asphalt, was highly ductile and had expanded slightly under the high daytime temperature. Instead of feeling uncomfortable underfoot, it was actually a little soft.

On the playground, there were many people jogging at night like him, both men and women.

But most of them are young couples who don't have money to rent a hotel room and don't want to go to the men's restroom or the woods behind the mountain.

At Sichuan University, ambiguity and poverty are intertwined in the night air.

As Leung Chao focused on his exercise, a familiar "ding" sound kept ringing in his ears—a very pleasant sound, the sound of escaping poverty.

It didn't take Liang Chao long to finish the five-kilometer run before he was covered in sweat. When he got back to his dormitory, it was only 11:10.

All I can say is that youth is indeed powerful.

After returning to the dormitory and washing up, the student council, as expected, came to check the dorms.

The solution is simple: just grab any senior student to cover for you, and you can usually get away with it.

As for unusual situations... well, then all we can do is showcase our connections!

......

September 23, 2013, Monday, Autumn Equinox.

At 7 o'clock, as the morning mist gradually dissipated, Liang Chao changed into his sportswear and arrived at the lotus pond.

He stood with his feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned inward, and knees slightly bent, lowering his center of gravity and maintaining the posture, remaining motionless.

This is the Black Tiger Sitting Mountain Stance, the foundation of boxing. When standing in this stance, one must relax all the muscles in the body but not slack off, ready to unleash their power.

Liang Chao started practicing stance training at the age of six, and his lower body was extremely stable. Even though he hadn't practiced for many years, he could maintain this posture for at least twenty minutes.

Early morning, lake breeze, rising sun, ginkgo trees.

The young man moved into the pavilion, sweating profusely, his fists whistling through the air, his imposing presence awe-inspiring.

Unbeknownst to them, it attracted quite a few "spectators".

"Holy crap! Holy crap! This young man!"

Outside the pavilion, among the onlookers, an old man with a cigarette in his hand watched Liang Chao practicing his boxing and kept cursing.

Several female students who were reading aloud in the morning were attracted by Liang Chao. They had gathered to see the handsome guy, but when they saw the old man's exaggerated expression, they all covered their mouths and chuckled.

"Hehehe~ Grandpa's so funny!"

"Hehehe~ You go play with the old man, I'll play with this handsome little brother!"

"Get lost! You wish! But little brother, your punches are pretty good, like something out of a movie. You've practiced, haven't you?"

"Hmm, that was really cool, but it's a pity... you were wearing clothes and pants."

"..."

Similar outrageous remarks, accompanied by a series of system notifications, caused Liang Chao's face to turn red at a visible speed, as he remained focused on his studies.

It's not from being tired, it's from feeling ashamed!

He felt like a monkey walking on a hoops in a circus, surrounded by constant praise and cheers, but all he found jarring and noisy.

'Damn it, I'm not coming back here tomorrow!'

After a forty-minute boxing practice session, Leung Chao didn't want to stay a second longer and ran away.

Back in the dorm, I took a shower in five minutes and changed clothes in five minutes.

When he arrived at the classroom, it was exactly 7:59.

Unexpectedly, Ah Lang didn't skip class; he was already in the classroom before Ah Lang, slumped over his desk as if he were about to die.

Upon seeing this, Liang Chao's expression changed.

He quickly sat down and poked his kidney with his pen.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Ah Lang suddenly hunched over, and a pained expression immediately appeared on his handsome face with obvious dark circles under his eyes.

Seeing this, Liang Chao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he was still conscious, that was good; he was just afraid...

Nothing was said all morning.

We finished lunch at 1:10 PM.

Liang Chao, who was resting in bed, finally received the long-awaited notification that the mission was completed.

[Ding, Side Quest - Highly Watched has been completed. The dormitory has accumulated 199450 attention points.]

A random gift pack worth 199450 yuan has been sent. Please check your inventory.

Liang Chao sat up abruptly from the bed. Without the slightest hesitation, he opened his backpack and clicked "use".
